Confirmed theories

Heathcliff will beat up or attempt to beat up Hong Lu at some point.

Heathcliff hates rich people, as established. In his trailer, Hong Lu goes on about all families being alike and proceeds to list things (disliking a cook's side dishes, for one) that mark him as rather wealthy and spoiled. It's inevitable that Heathcliff will immediately dislike him, and he seemingly has his inspiration's anger issues.

• Confirmed in the prologue; but then again, Heathcliff attempts to beat up half of the cast at the start (and bashes Sinclair's skull during the first chapter).

There'll be an N Corp Identity for Sinclair.

Looking at the N Corp Mirror World Stories in the records area shows that there are four stories so far - Meursault, Rodion, Heathcliff, and Faust, of course. However, looking at the way the stories are numbered reveals a missing Identity. While Meursault is labeled Story #1 and Rodion is Story #2, Heathcliff is Story #4 and Faust is Story #5. There's a missing Identity for the third Story, meaning we're almost certainly getting another N Corp Identity soon. As well, Faust's Story shows that rather than just getting a cellar key from Sinclair, she also got a memory drive that held the locations of numerous other prosthetics businesses - enough that she spends 3 days looking through all the information, implying a much greater degree of trust between this Faust and Sinclair if he went to those lengths to give her that information.

• Confirmed!
  • Though Sinclair isn't Story #3, he's #6. Don get Story #3.

The last N corp identity won't be another one who grips

All the N corp identities mirror the various ranks of Nagel und Hammer with Heathcliff being very servile and compliant, Rodion being very sadistic, keeping with the theme the next identity will look like the Obsessive-Joyous-Fearless Inquisitor's potentially having all three character traits.

• Semi-confirmed, Sinclair is The One Who Shall Grip, while Don gets the Mittelhammer identity.

The Bamboo-Hatted Kim Identity will be given to Meursault.

He has yet to get a new 3-star ID in Season 3, he doesn't have a Poise ID or one associated with the Kurokumo/Blade Lineage Mirror World, and he's stoic enough for Bamboo-Hatted Kim to fit with him.

• Confirmed!

Jossed theories

Ishmael was a victim of the Open Can of Wellcheers Abnormality

The Open Can of Wellcheers sometimes dispenses a can that has sleeping pills inside. Anyone who drinks it is knocked out and then wakes up on a boat, which they have to work on. Ishmael talks about how she used to be at sea for a long time, and is implied to have been a sailor. She ended up joining Limbus Company to escape from Wellcheers' effects.

• Potentially Jossed. While nothing has been shown about her early years out on the Great Lake, she was a willing member of a Whaler ship before tragedy struck and joining up with Limbus Company.

Season 3 will include Pallidified and Mermaid IDs.

With very few Story characters or groups left for Season 3's Identity selection, it stands to reason that the only Canto V enemy group yet to be represented by any Identities will appear in a future banner. They're human enemies, meaning that it's entirely possible for the Sinners to have Mirror Worlds where they've encountered the Pallid Whale - or any Whale in general - and they serve as an excellent way to provide more Sinners with Negative Coin IDs as well as adding more Identities with Sinking Deluge.

• Jossed. The last IDs of the season were Blade Lineage and Kurokumo.

Matthew is Cathy in disguise

Since Cathy has died without any confirmation that this is true (as discussed ingame, nobody saw the corpse), and also the reveal that the Dead Rabbits were eradicated and are missing watches, making them basically zombies, it's strange that Matthew acts completely normal towards Heathcliff despite their last meeting being way back. But what if Cathy is disguised as Matthew (and his greeting was a slip-up from Cathy, who saw Heath for the first time after he left)? Nobody except Heathcliff should know how he'd look like, and even then their last meeting had been years ago. And with the Ring involved (because of the masks), a facemask and a voice changer aren't out of the question either, allowing Cathy to watch closely whatever her plan might be.

• Most likely would be that Cathy is faking her death to relocate elsewhere with Heath, and acts as an unsuspicious friend of him. Also would explain why only Heath can read the diary, thus finding the entrance to the basement. But even with the elaborate plan and a disguise as Matthew, she didn't account for the rest of the sinners and is (as of Canto VI-1) thinking of a new plan to separate them, explaining Matthew's absence.
• VERY Jossed. "Matthew" is an Identity of Heathcliff's that experienced the events of the novel, becoming a self-loathing, tormented man that lead him to want to kill every other Heathcliff in the multiverse under the assumption that himself and thus every Heathcliff to ever exist were the source of Cathy's death and torment.

Dante and their identity

Dante's resurrection ability isn't time-based.

While Vergilius and Faust put a lot of emphasis on how Dante's ability to revive the Sinners is based on rewinding time, the visual that accompanies it - a Hellgate that Dante reaches into to pull out the souls of the people they wants to revive in exchange for taking on their pain - seems rather unusual for something linked to time. In addition, Faust also talks a lot about how the ability is based on Dante's "star", which they say in the prologue was what kept them from panicking when being attacked, meaning that they could access the "star" even before putting on the clock head. The core of this theory is that Dante has the clock head prosthetic - Lion and Panther comment that they put it on themself after likely having their original head cut off by Wolf. However, it's been shown time and again in Project Moon that even entirely robotic bodies require you to transfer the original brain into it, which Dante shouldn't have been able to do if their head was already cut off - they should have already been dead and gone. This theory postulates that the clock head prosthetic (which Vergilius apparently commissioned, as he notes in Chapter 3) is a Red Herring set up by Vergilius and Faust to make people believe their ability to revive people is linked to the head, rather than something Dante can do themself, including being able to resurrect themself, or at least prevent themself from dying for a while.

Dante is not Garnet.

The deal that Faust makes with Vergilius in exchange for him assisting in the efforts of Limbus Company involves her restoring two of the orphans that Vergilius helped raise, Lapis and Garnet, to their original selves after being caught up in the Ring experimenting on the Singularity which allows the Sinners to wield the Identities of their alternate selves. Lapis is currently in the Identity of Charon, the bus driver, but Garnet's Identity is unknown but is likely to be Dante, who shares a color scheme with Garnet's namesake and is part of the staff on the bus alongside Vergilius and Charon. In addition, in Chapter 3, Dante recalls a tragic memory linked to Christmas awakened by Kromer playing "Silent Night" from the loudspeakers in the town, with Leviathan featuring such a tragic event, when the orphanage that Garnet and Lapis grew up in was destroyed by Tomerry after the True Ending of Library of Ruina.
However, Dante doesn't perfectly line up with Garnet; Garnet is a nice person, while pre-amnesia Dante is shown to be caustic and rude, and though this might be a side-effect of having one of their alternate Identities be the Black Silence post-Pianist, it also doesn't line up with Vergilius's description of Dante's pre-amnesia self in Chapter 3, as he claims they were a high-ranking and important individual similar to Siegfried, while Garnet in Leviathan had only just become a Fixer and was, at most, a low-ranking member of the Seven Association.
Instead, Dante being Garnet is another Red Herring, and Garnet is actually another red-colored individual linked to the running of the bus - namely, the actual bus, Mephistopheles, as Garnet is the one person to be perfectly compatible with the Identity Singularity in Leviathan, and the method of extracting Identities from alternate timelines in Limbus Company is a function of Mephistopheles. It would also partially explain why Charon is so concerned with making sure Mephistopheles is "fed", as Leviathan shows that she had an Oral Fixation as Lapis and sought to try out all the flavors in the world, so that may have been transferred to a different aspect in her Identity as Charon.

Dante is directly linked to Ayin and the Light.

When Faust instructs Dante to "find their star" in the dungeon of Canto 1, they see a swirling constellation leading into a single point of light◊, which is a clear allusion to the artwork depicting Dante Aligheri and his lover Beatrice looking into the Empyrean◊, or the realm of God. The one character repeatedly alluded to as being connected to the Light and symbolizing God is Ayin.

Dante is an Aberration or is otherwise connected to the Plague Doctor and One Sin.

Dante, like the Plague Doctor, and its ALEPH form WhiteNight, is an ambiguously-gendered person with a Non-Human Head and has twelve followers that they heal, along with a heavy religious motif. The dungeons and the Sinners' resonance with the Golden Boughs are very reminiscent of the way One Sin and Hundreds of Good Deeds functions, where a person is blessed with divine light when they confess the sins of their past. For their part, Dante seems more concerned with the flesh than the soul, the inverse of the Plague Doctor. As one of its work comments states:

"Plague Doctor states: "There is nothing behind my mask; flesh is bound to the flow of time, but the soul is immortal." "

In addition, at the start, Dante's pre-amnesiac self is confident that upon "engraving the Aspect", they would be able to easily defeat the three attempted killers, which is in line for WhiteNight being an ALEPH-level Abnormality.

• Other similarities between Dante and WhiteNight include the fact that they both communicate without physically speaking, as well as the fact that the end of Canto 4 reveals that Dante is immune to whatever technology has been used to wipe the memories of the Sinners, similarly to how WhiteNight is beyond the passage of time and thus not affected by rewinds or resets. Speaking of the time theme, WhiteNight blessing an employee is shown as the employee's name being engraved on a clock which ticks down.

Dante is Ayin.

Going off of the theory that the Golden Boughs are pieces of Carmen's nervous system split off from the main facility, one needs to note that in LCCB Rodya's side story, she mentions that the qualification for being a Sinner is to be able to resonate - not with the Golden Boughs, but with Dante. From that, we can extrapolate that the Golden Boughs are actually resonating with Dante, and then get connected to the appropriate Sinner through their own connection to Dante, which is supported by Dante being able to see visions of the Sinners' pasts that only they and the Sinner can see. This makes sense when you look at Ayin's own E.G.O, as his is not a weapon or a suit of armor, but, like Angela, an entire building - the head facility of Lobotomy Corporation, which is linked to all the other facilities and contains the vast majority of Carmen's nervous system.
Dante also shows a few similarities to Ayin - namely, they have a few hints of being The Sociopath, being uncaring of how many times the Sinners die save for how turning back the clock will cause a lot of pain, and being able to stand in the middle of a horrific sight like the town of Calw burning to the ground and covered in the desecrated and maimed corpses of people who wore prosthetics, telling jokes even as Inquisitors try to kill them. They're also shown to not really care about the morality of how Mephistopheles is fed, merely being curious about the mechanical details of it and seeming to wonder why Sinclair was so squeamish about feeding living people into a meat grinder if he wasn't forced to join the Company.

• A strike against this: Dante is addressed with they/them exclusively, even when Faust refers to their past self.

"Engraving the Aspect" allows Dante to bring anyone back to life, even non-Sinners.

So far, we know that Dante can bring the Sinners back from the dead via "the star", which seems to be an ability Dante has claimed rather than having innately or having as a function of the clock, as Faust's guidance of Dante to the star reveals that it's the cause of their ability to bring back the Sinners, and the agents of the Purple Tear mention during the prologue that they're trying to find the location of Dante's star, implying that it's a physical object they hid somewhere - or that it's possibly hidden within their original head. As such, we know that Dante's ability is not linked to the clock but to them, possibly explaining why they could put on a prosthetic head after being decapitated, which should be invariably fatal and unable to be fixed on your own unless you can bring people back from the dead.
In addition, so far all three characters who have shown an interest in claiming the star (or "engraving the Aspect") for their own have either a canon or folkloric dead loved one that they'd likely want to bring back to life. Dante, the original owner of the star and whose motive for helping the Sinners is the opportunity to engrave the Aspect, is based on Dante's Divine Comedy, where an important main character is Beatrice, Dante's dead lover. Faust, who mentions that she's currently chasing after the star in her character promo video, has the operatic version of her myth include Faust seducing and later witnessing the death of Gretchen as a major plot point that drove Faust's motivations through the rest of the opera. Finally, Iori, the Purple Tear and almost certainly the sponsor of Lion, Wolf, and Panther, is infamous for constantly looking for ways to bring her son back to life.
If this is true, it's entirely possible that a later plot point will involve a conflict between different parties trying to claim the star or force Dante to revive their own desired person - possibly including the higher-ups of Limbus Company, if it does turn out that the Golden Boughs are leftover pieces of Carmen's nervous system that they're gathering for nefarious purposes.

In addition to the above, Dante's "engraved aspect" will be the singularity that makes Limbus Company the next L Corp.

Whether this means Dante will become a living singularity, or engraving the aspect will strip them of their powers or even their life is yet to be seen. It could be considered that their clock head is actually a proto-singularity and needs 'training' via their experiences with the sinners. Once it's ready, Dante engraves the aspect, gets their old head back and the clock becomes the core singularity of Limbus Company. We'll have to wait and see whether Limbus Company will then use this singularity for purely bringing the dead back to life, or whether they will use it in some way as a new power source to replace Enkephalin for the city by stripping energy from the land or souls of the dead.

• In Dante's notes, Dante questions whether their head is a Singularity or not, considering its restoration abilities.

K Corp's captured eye is somehow related to Dante and/or the source of their powers.

In the fairytale, the captured eye is metaphorically referred to as a 'star' that shed healing tears, which actually turn people back to an original point.

Who else is related to a "star" that can return people to a pre-injury point at the cost of physical suffering? Dante.

Dante is just Dante.

While many theories have cropped up around who Dante is and if they're actually a character we've seen before, The Stinger for Canto 4 seems to disprove it, as Demian implies that he knew them before their amnesia, and while Vergilius and Faust might have a reason to fake Dante's name, Demian doesn't seem to have any motivation of the kind, so him instantly calling Dante "Dante" when he meets them again during Canto 3 would disprove the idea that Dante isn't their original name.

Demian and Dante both have a link to Carmen.

In The Stinger for Canto 4, Demian approaches Dante again, and claims that to use the Mirror is to steal from Demian, and that Dante promised to draw him a sheep before they lost their memory. This directly hearkens to The Little Prince, something which is only emphasized by how in Canto 3, Dante's advice to Sinclair during the climax is essentially the same as the fox's advice to the little prince that important things can only be seen with the heart, not the eyes. As such, it appears that Demian is also meant to serve as an allegory for the little prince and Dante as an allegory for the narrator of the story (and, potentially, the fox). If this is true, then it would only make sense that there is also a character who serves as an allegory for the little prince's rose - and the link this time comes from Lunacy. Lunacy, the currency you use to extract identities (or, as Demian says, to steal from him), looks like two things; the first and most obvious is a rose, but if you look closer, it's actually a brain and nervous system in the shape of a rose - just like how Carmen's brain and nervous system were extracted to produce Cogito in Lobotomy Corporation. We can thus guess that the rose in the story is represented by Carmen, which means that both Demian and Dante should have some connection to Carmen prior to the story's beginning.

There will be more than 26 chapters - beyond the amount of letters in the alphabet - and beyond the amount of current Wings.

If we take each Canto as putting a specific corporation on the limelight - one immediately glaring thing abound is that Canto I centers around the former G Corp (the one that makes their human soldiers insectoid monstrosities), not the current G Corp (which so far is primarily shown to be able to make gravity-manipulating tech). Whilst Canto IV also puts a spotlight on T Corp in its third part, that primarily ties more to what the Wing had done/been doing in the past instead of the present unlike the other Wings, both current and former, that're highlighted through the Cantos.

• A point for this is that Canto VI, while taking place within District 20, has almost nothing to do with T Corp beyond it being the area they control and the colour having faded due to their Singularity.

There will be a major conflict between Dante and Sinclair.

It's not stated what or who Beatrice is in Limbus Company (AFAIK), but we can be sure she has something to do with Dante, obviously.Now, in Hesse's Demian, Emil Sinclair had a secret adornment to (a portrait of) the very same Beatrice.

And in-game, Demian's last talk with Dante at the end of Canto IV as well as Sinclair's not-too-friendly behavior at the end of his introduction video both sound like trouble coming up in one way or another.

Dante's clock will inch closer to midnight every 4 Cantos

Assuming (and this is a big assumption) that the Inferno lasts 12 or 13 Cantos, Dante's clock moving every 4 cantos would split the Cantos into three great 'portions'.

Future Identity/E.G.O

There will be extremely fanservicey Identities released in the future.

Sex Sells and they gotta make money somehow, even if it clashes with the otherwise fanserviceless tone of the franchise.

• They will likely be more Fan Disservice knowing how PM operates. Melting Love, anyone?
• The Kurokumo Clan Identities already embrace sex appeal for both men and women with their tendency towards cleavage like the previous game, which could be indicative of the most they're willing to do. The return and/or use of certain Abnormalities and their E.G.O may lean more into horror than fan service, Pink Shoes, Wall Gazer, and again, Melting Love as examples. While not out of the question yet, the shark could be considered jumped the day a swimsuit identity is released.
  • Melting Love is slightly unlikely due to its status as a backer Abnormality (backer Abnormalities also did not appear in Ruina).
  • Well, they're not QUITE swimsuit Identities, but the Boatworks Identities for Ishmael and Sinclair seem to fulfill their function, especially with the ID artwork showing Ishmael in a skin-tight wetsuit and Sinclair with an open shirt and a choker.
  • The illustrator has stated not to be willing to draw Ishmael in a fanservicy outfit, because it would be extremely out of character for her.

Identities based on Lobotomy Corporation and Library of Ruina

• Yi Sang = Ayin
• Faust = Angela
• Don Quixote = Malkuth
• Ryoshu = Binah
• Meursault = Hokma
• Hong Lu = Chesed
• Heathcliff = Tiphereth
• Ishmael = Yesod
• Rodion = Netzach
• Sinclair = Hod

Possible New Identities

Essentially Confirmed (Not officially released or announced, but appear in other Identities' artwork):

• R Corp Rabbit Ryoshu & R Corp Rabbit(?) Gregor (Appears in Reindeer Ishmael's Art)
• R Corp Rabbit Sinclair/Don Quixote (Appears in Rabbit Heathcliff's Art from the back, unclear which one it is)
• Zwei Section 6 Don Quixote (Appears Zwei Section 6 Sinclair Art)
• Liu Section 6 Yi Sang & Faust (Appears in Liu Hong Lu's Art)
• Rosespanner Workshop Don (Appears in Rosespanner Workshop Rep Rodion's Art)
• Lobotomy E.G.O::Red Sheet Rodion (Appears in Lobotomy E.G.O::Sloshing Ishmael' Art)
• Kurokumo Heathcliff (Appears in the back of Kurokumo Hong Lu's Art)

Identity Artwork Shown (Identities that have had their artwork shown on the Official Website or Twitter page):

• Zwei Section 6 Faust
  • Confirmed, though it's South Section 4, not 6.
• Zwei Section 6 Rodion
  • Confirmed, though it's South Section 5.
• R Corp Rhino Gregor

Pure Speculation:

• The One Who Grips Sinclair (There's a missing spot for an Identity in the World of N Corp, and N Corp Faust's story shows that she was given a "key" from Sinclair that was actually a file of prosthetic manufacturer locations large enough to need 3 whole days to look through it, showing a larger level of trust towards Faust than Kromer. Also, his design shown in the Canto 3 story art of him is too cool not use it.)
  • Confirmed! Though it's called The One Who Shall Grip.
• Color Fixer Identities
  • Black Silence Faust (She's an Identical Stranger to Angela, who is herself an Identical Stranger to Angelica, the original Black Silence)
  • Blue Reverberation Hong Lu (Hong Lu, like Argalia, has a carefree attitude, association with the color blue, and preference for polearms)
  • Color fixer versions of the main group utilizing the phrase and color in their existing code name, such as Don Quixote being called the Yellow Oblivion. Could come with upgraded versions of their base kits, similar to Grand units.
• Similiar to the above, 000 versions of their base Identities to signify the Sinners taking a level in badass. Unlike the others they might not be obtainable through the Gacha, and instead could be obtained after progressing in the story and doing something like beating a character specific Super Boss (similiar to the Floor Realizations in Ruina) that unlocks their full power.
• Lobotomy Corp E.G.O. Identities:
  • Queen of Hatred Don (Both have a near obsession with fighting 'villains', and both mentally collapse when their worldview comes crashing down. While Don hasn't gone on a killing spree while claiming she's now a villain, she can easily change who or what villains are in her mind to fit her new worldview in her other Identities, such as her N Corp. Mittelhammer Identity deciding that those that have prosthetics are villains that must be defeated.)

Eventually, all Sinners will recieve Identities that allow them to wield their base E.G.Os permanently.

Not in the way the Lobotomy Corp E.G.Os work, as simple equipment, but as truly personalized armor and weapons like Philip and Xiao's personal E.G.Os in Library of Ruina.

Future Story speculation

Of all the Sinners, Yi Sang and Dante will have the greatest impact on the greater lore.

All of the characters in Limbus Company so far follow a general naming scheme, where they are named and inspired by a character from a literary or poetical work. There are, however, two exceptions - Yi Sang and Dante, both of whom are named after the writers of their associated works, rather than characters (though The Divine Comedy has Dante write himself in as the point of view characters, so that might be less important for him). In addition, their associated items, Ha Yong and Durante, are both pseudonyms or other names used by the authors, with Ha Yong being one of Yi Sang's pen names, while Durante was the name that Dante Alighieri was baptized under, while all the other Sinners have items named after important themes in their novels - such as Don Quixote's impossible dream, the "hearse" that Ishmael escaped the shipwreck in, or the false name "Outis"/Nobody that Odysseus used to trick Polyphemus.Most important here is Yi Sang's most famous work, "The Wings", which is very important in the lore of the City, as while the story itself doesn't have much of a connection to the world itself, the title is directly linked to the MegaCorp system of the Wings. Yi Sang is also noted in his profile to be the former head researcher of a Wing, but instead of having it just be unnamed, it's specifically redacted from his file, indicating that whatever Wing it was is extremely important to the story. While there's no direct evidence for this as of yet, it's entirely possible that Yi Sang used to be a high-ranking employee of The Head itself.

The literary references are because of the Library.

Gregor is somehow connected to the Library, given the symbols of the Sephirah in his trailer and on his base E.G.O, and we already know that the game focuses around harvesting Enkephalin from the ruins of Lobotomy Corporation. In the true ending of Library of Ruina, the Library is moved to the Outskirts but seems relatively intact, and Angela gives back the Seed of Light in order to resurrect all the booked people and write a book with Roland. It's possible that the residual energy from the original Seed of Light (and/or Carmen being herself, since we know she likes making people Distort) combined with the Enkephalin and whatever research Yi Sang was doing, changing them into partial recreations of famous literary characters as a sort of parallel to Distortion.

It's also possible that people reacted differently, or at least had different exposure levels. This would explain why some seem to be truer to the text, as it were (Meursault and Heathcliff both seem relatively faithful to their inspirations), some are ...less so, and others (Hong Lu, Yi Sang, and possibly Dante) are not named after characters but instead authors (or, in Hong Lu's case, a book title). It would also explain why they're able to use pages like Fourth Match Flame and Gregor has trouble controlling his arm - they've already been partially changed by a similar force and are more "receptive" to that influence.

One of the locations visited will be the original research lab in the Outskirts...

...and that's where we'll get some fanservice with an appearance from the members of the Library, potentially tying into Faust maybe being a former L Corp member.

At some point in the story, N Corp. will collapse.

N Corp. is the clear candidate for the Greater-Scope Villain for the story so far, likely with Hermann as the actual physical Big Bad to represent them. While it's very unlikely that the Sinners themselves will manage to make N Corp collapse (the only individual entities capable of a feat of that scale is the like of an Arbiter, which the Sinners are FAR from emulating) but something will happen that will cause such widespread chaos that it will cause N Corp to collapse upon itself.

If one of the Sinners does act as a traitor, it will be Faust.

Connected to Dante's above connection to WhiteNight, when twelve Apostles have been blessed, the final one given the blessing will be a traitor the Manager can use to activate One Sin - in the exact words of the text, "Have not I chosen you twelve, and one of you is a devil?". Since the order of the chapters is based on the order the Sinners were introduced, the last Sinner to resonate with a Golden Bough will be Faust - who is also connected to devils through Mephistopheles, and is also a Uniformity Exception as her E.G.O. is the only personal E.G.O. to not have barbed wire in the foreground of its image.
Outis, while the most outright suspicious member of the Sinners, doesn't have a direct link to treachery; literary references are important in Limbus Company, and while Odysseus has performed certain questionable acts and has infiltrated groups to kill them, he never once betrayed a group he was actually part of - the closest he got was being somewhat of a kiss-ass to Achilles and Agamemnon during the Iliad, which is in line with Outis's portrayal as a Professional Butt-Kisser.
The literary and operatic versions of Faust usually involve Faust initially making a deal with a devil and acting selfishly in order to chase after a moment of pure contentedness, but eventually repenting after seeing the consequences of his actions on other people and turning back to the light of the Lord. If a version of this was to be interpreted in the world of Project Moon, it would be someone making a deal with the character most often associated with the devil - Carmen - before ultimately siding with Ayin, which would likely involve The Reveal that Faust was originally working against Dante, but decided to side with them since any other method of showing a betrayal would be difficult due to the nature of the gameplay.

Gregor's Smoke War illusion will come up again.

Compared to the two other Bough chapters available at launch, Gregor's ended on a very strange note. As opposed to Rodion, who could directly confront her source of issues on a philosophical level as well as really be in her element well before the dungeon itself, or Sinclair's harrowing trip back into the K Corp. Nest and all of the trauma that was dug up and resolved, Gregor's dungeon back in Canto 1 was... very unfulfilling. Rather than reach proper catharsis at the end, the introduction of Hermann basically stalled him out, on top of us actually losing the Bough rather than collect it. Chances are, Gregor's story isn't done - and if N Corp and Hermann are the Arc Villain, then Gregor might be the last Sinner to claim their Bough.

A future Canto will include a high-ranking Liu member.

The story of Hong Lu's Liu Identity involves him talking with Faust and Yi Sang, both also members of the Liu Association, but while Yi Sang and Hong Lu both have titles listing them as members of the Liu Association, Faust's title is just a couple of question marks, implying that she has some special status or rank in the Association. Faust is also the only character so far to have Identities where she replaces lore-important characters such as Yuri or Kromer, and if this trend continues in the future, the mystery surrounding her role in the Liu might foreshadow a future Liu Association member appearing - and while she might be replacing Xiao, it seems unlikely that they'd include crossover Identities so soon, or give such a powerful Identity to a Sinner right off the bat.

The structure of the story will have 3 Cantos in an arc.

So far, we've had the first five Cantos released for Limbus Company - the stories focused on Gregor, Rodion, Sinclair, Yi Sang and Ahab. During the first two Cantos, the end boss was a regular abnormality fight with nothing really special outside of the story cutscenes, while the third Canto had Kromer as a final boss - so far, the only story boss to not be included in Luxcavation or any Mirror Dungeon until a later update, as well as the first boss to have a Mili song dedicated to her. With the twelve Sinners providing twelve individual chapters, it seems likely that we're going to get future chapters abiding by this same three-Canto structure, with two regular Abnormality fights as final bosses with a third chapter having a dedicated "special" final boss with a Mili song. With the order of chapters seemingly following the order that the Sinners were revealed on Twitter as well as the order they were introduced, the arcs would look like this:

• Arc 1: Gregor, Rodion, Sinclair
• Arc 2: Yi Sang, Ishmael, Heathcliff
• Arc 3: Don Quixote, Hong Lu, Ryoshu
• Arc 4: Meursault, Outis, Faust
  • Mildly Jossed. Cantos IV and V both had non-abnormality bosses with Mili songs, but there is still the potential of each group of 3 Cantos building upon each other in a similar manner.

The game will have approximately 27 Chapters.

There are 25-26 districts in the City and The Divine Comedy has:

• 9 circles of Inferno
• 7 (9 if counting the Ante-Purgatory) circles of Purgatorio
• 10 spheres of Paradiso

Each Sinner will get a Mili song in their chapter.

Right now, we only have one song ("Between two Worlds" that is clearly about Sinclair, not Kromer) and Mili in their Twitter hinted that there will be a new one in Canto IV - about Yi Sang. Gregor & Rodya will get their songs in future chapters.

• With the full release of Canto IV, the song (Fly, My Wings) is meant for Yi Sang, though the beginning resonates more with Dongrang. While we are now 2/4 songs for the Sinners, future songs may partially reference their opponents more often as well, we'll just have to see.
• Canto V brings this to 3/5, with the song focusing far more on Ishmael than her opponent.
• Canto VI brings this to 4/6, though only half of it focuses on Heathcliff in general instead of him specifically, while the other half focuses on Cathrine.

Particularly climactic Cantos will involve Z Corp and L Corp as the star corporation.

Although the Wings all clearly follow an alphabetic naming scheme and the City's districts are all split so that every Wing gets its share, Z Corp's district seems to be nowhere to be found for whatever reason. Maybe a particularly plot-heavy Canto will involve finding Z Corp and their district.In regards to L Corp, either the Sinners might encounter an actually active L Corp remnant, or they're going to witness the rise of a new Wing to take the spot Lobotomy Corporation left behind.

F Corp and J Corp might get involved in a heated clash against each other later on in the story.

F Corp's Singularity allows them to unlock anything, whilst J Corp's Singularity allows them to lock anything. The directly-contrasting nature of their Singularities could possibly end up roping them both into war, should someone ever be bold enough to manipulate them into fighting each other.

The last stretch of the game will focus on Dante's Past.

Based on the information we have, it can be assumed that the Sinners will have their chapters in the order they appeared in the prologue's introduction (Gregor, Rodya, Sinclair, Yi Sang, etc). It has also been implied at points that the reason the Sinners have been selected specifically because they might resonate with and be able to interact with the Golden Boughs.* Second point confirmed.With these two pieces of information, it can be assumed the last chapter based on a sinner would be Faust in Canto XII, however, the fact that Dante themselves is a sinner and not some other role within the Limbus Company as their manager (alongside seemingly having been recruited in the same manner as the sinners) implies the fact that Dante themselves will eventually have to resonate with a Golden Bough.
This implies to me, the last cantos of the story (or specifically XII and XIII) will focus on Faust and Dante, and the climax of the story will serve as a greater exploration of Dante's past. Faust is the only sinner who seems to know anything about Dante, so some insight to her own past may provide some light to Dante's. This would then be followed by a direct exploration of Dante's past as they have to resonate with their own Golden Bough, thus bringing them into contact with their past. This also implies that Dante will have to sort of 'face themselves' before their time with the company is finished and they can get their memories and original head back, which could be interesting.

Each Sinner will have two or three chapters dedicated to them.

An easy guess to make.

Each Sinner will have their own Inferno chapter, then a Purgatorio chapter, and finally a Paradiso chapter that concludes their personal character arc for good.

There is good reason to think this, as all the Sinners that got a spot in the limelight haven't really resolved their character arc - Hermann still haunts Gregor psychologically and otherwise, Rodya's past with Sonya remains unresolved, Sinclair may have dealt with his personal Arch-Enemy but his storyline with Demian still hasn't concluded, and Yi Sang will have to confront Gubo at some point.

If it's two chapters each, and counting Dante in, that would be 26 chapters total, while if it's three it would be 39 chapters. It's going to be a loooong trip.

We might have an endgame where we can only use our base Identities.

As it's Hermann's goal to destroy all mirror worlds, if she succeeds this might translate to having to fight her without using any other Identities than their LCB Sinner ones, as their other Identities are 'destroyed'. This would be in a similar vein as to why we could only fight with Roland, Binah and Gebura at the end of Ruina as everyone else had pages equipped that were from people who were released from the Library.

The Crimson Ordeal will appear, if not even more.

With the second Walpurgisnacht event, we have gotten the Green Ordeals, and one of the earliest memes to the game revolved around 'coulrophobia', the fear of clowns. Unless Project Moon introduces scrapped abnormalities, it's probably hinting at the Crimson Ordeal.

Don's chapter will give us more information on what Dante's "Star" is.

Dante's star is a subject of importance to both them and Faust, as they are, so far, the only two people to really talk about it, primarily during the Prologue and Canto I, with Faust making minor mentions of it during both her character promo video and the end of the Christmas event. However, we still know just about nothing as to what it really is or what it does, beyond letting Dante revive the Sinners. Don Quixote's introductory quote - and indeed, one of the most famous quotes from a work inspired by Don Quixote discusses "reaching the unreachable star"; naturally, given how important stars as an idea are to the world of Project Moon, it's highly likely that Don Quixote's star may very well be linked to Dante's.

From the second Intervallo onwards, there will be a constant pattern where the next Sinner in line will get a co-star highlight role with the main Sinner being highlighted.

Heathcliff takes major involvement when Ishmael's Sanity Slippage gets the better of her in Intervallo 4.5, and Don Quixote straight-up leads the gift-searching party to get fancy clothes for Heathcliff in Intervallo 5.5. It's clear that there's a major pattern forming here.*Somewhat Jossed. 5.5-2 (Yield My Flesh To Claim Their Bones) focused on the Blade Lineage, the Kurokumo Clan and Dante rather than the Sinners.

Future Intervallos.

With precedent being established that the Intervallo Events are going to be parodies of established types of stories - such as cooking dramas, beach episodes, and christmas specials - it's interesting thinking of how future Intervallos can spoof well-known story structures.

• Marriage Episode: For some reason, the Sinners either need to or decide to infiltrate somewhere by pretending to have a wedding. Don Quixote is named the ring boy and Sinclair is named the flower girl, half of the Sinners are confused as to who is getting married and the other half are fighting over who gets to be the best man and bride of honor. The enemies are members of the Dieci Association trying to take back a member that got kidnapped in order to officiate the ceremony.
• Horse Race: The Sinners need to take part in a horse race in order to get something. Unfortunately, since none of them actually know how to ride a proper horse, Outis gets the idea to disguise Mephistopheles as a horse robot in order to "trojan horse" their way into the winning position.
• Absence episode: For one reason or another, the Sinners (likely just some of them) have to do a task without being guided by Dante, trying to manage their own (especially in-battle, since Dante doesn't command them) and to not die because they'd be lacking necessary numbers.
• Very Special Episode: Some series of events occurs that causes the Sinners to have to get involved in some anti-drug or anti-gang campaign, but the aesop given is "do more drugs and join Backstreets syndicates because we need more people to throw into a meat grinder for fuel". Another angle that can be taken is that the Intervallo serves as an Anvillicious attack against the viceful portrayal of certain subjects common in gacha games or video games, such as sexualisation.
• Halloween Episode: Whilst Walpurgisnacht can be seen as the game's equivalent of such (given that the first event happened in October), the second one opening in January clearly points to the event being season-dependent instead. Thus, there's still room for a Halloween-themed Intervallo, possibly involving the Sinners getting into a Haunted House of sorts, or giving certain characters an early "What Do They Fear?" Episode, but spun into a Horror Comedy angle.
• Mystery Episode: The Sinners have to help solve a mystery whilst the whole setting is rendered monochrome (particularly fitting given that Canto VI is going to take place in T Corp's district), with all the difficulty that entails when the ones investigating mostly comprised of folks more interested in other manners.
  • Somewhat Confirmed. Uncovering the truth behind Catherine's "death" is the kickstarter for most events in Canto VI.
  • Also, the events for Canto 6.5 are showing the sinners as detectives, not to mention that one of them references 'Murder on the Orient Express'.

Future Walpurgisnachts will have special battles in the Library.

We've already seen from the first Walpurgisnacht that there will be IDs that come from Library of Ruina guests instead of the Agents of Lobotomy Corporation, and in addition, there's already precedent for Mephistopheles having access to a past version of the Library; after all, both the Library and the head facility of Lobotomy Corporation aren't real buildings, but are rather the manifested EGOs of Angela and Ayin respectively.

Don Quixote's Canto will be heavily influenced by the Knight of the Mirrors.

In both the second volume of the novel and the musical inspired by it, Don Quixote is challenged by a mysterious knight known as the Knight of the Mirrors - in actuality, one of his former associates in disguise, attempting to defeat him to force them to return home. In the story, the mirrors represent an objective reflection of reality and logic, in defiance to Don Quixote's flights of fancy, and the results of the fight differ greatly between the two. In the novel, Don Quixote proves victorious (only to be defeated later when the same person takes a different persona), while in the play, his own reflection paralyzes him and he's reduced to a demoralized mess without much of a fight. Considering that Limbus Company's Quixote uses a weapon referencing a song from the musical ("Sueño Imposible"/"The Impossible Dream"), it's highly likely that whatever form the Knight of the Mirrors takes, our Don Quixote will likely not make it through the encounter with her outlook unaffected.

Don's Canto will occur in a District entirely seperated from T Corp.

With one of the upcoming Cantos being based on a WARP Train, it seems that the usual pattern of each Canto only moving a single District at a time will be broken, likely as the only District connected to T Corp that we haven't visited yet is S Corp, which was explored in the Blade Lineage Intervallo, and which has no prior connection to Don Quixote. As such, it seems that the Sinners will be forced to take a WARP Train to reach the next Golden Bough.

Don's Canto will take place in District 23.

Given the prior theory, and combine it with W Corp's control of District 23 and the fact that District 23 was the hometown of the Red Mist, it seems like a perfect place for Don Quixote's backstory to be unveiled. It would also explain her bizarre predilection towards trying to eat various Abnormalities if she grew up on the Streets of Flavor, to say nothing of how she could have been affected if she actually did meet Kali in the past in District 23.

The Sinners in general

The Sinners who wear the same Abnormality's EGO have a connection.

We already know that their base EGO belongs to the respective Sinner and represents them, but it's very likely that it's not just their EGO like Rime Shank - Obviously has a connection to Rodion coldness and pain and important parts of her backstory.

• Rodion
  • Rodion's murder of the tax collector and having everyone in the village eat steak with her money, which ends with them all getting killed by the Middle, can be seen as a parallel to the Little Match Girl lighting her own matches for warmth and visions of a happier life, only to eventually run out and die from exposure.
• Hong Lu
  • The way he is tied up in Roseate Desire (in contrast to Ishmael being visibly in control) shows how he was objectified and treated more like a treasure than a person at his home.
• Heathcliff
  • Both AEDD and Telepole come from Abnormalities that are highly implied to represent abuse, specifically of animals, which ties into Heathcliff's past of being abused and dehumanized at Wuthering Heights.
• Ryoshu
  • Ryoshu is often associated with fire, so she has a connection to 4th Match Flame. Scorched Girl is also a darker twist on the Little Match Girl (her matches burned her to death, so now she defends her hopes for a better life by exploding anything that prevents her from getting to them), paralleling the death of Yoshihide's daughter (the only person in his life who treated him kindly and whom he cared for) by fire, and his eventual suicide after the completion of his painting.
  • Red Eyes is from an Abnormality that loves its children and would kill to protect them, just like how she likely loves hers.
  • Blind Obsession is from an Abnormality that needlessly yet vigorously keeps destroying something of its own creation, being unable to see ahead. Much like how the Abnormality itself likely reflects Ahab and Ishmael herself, it can also reflect Ryoshu as she could still be stuck in how her own past affected her.
• Sinclair
  • Impending Day shows how he tried to stop the 'doomsday' Kromer began that ended up ravaging his hometown.
• Outis
  • Ebony Queens Apple's major theme is distrust, which could represent how she acts with others, like how she gives Dante endless praise rather then any actual emotion. With the other Sinners, she likely doesn't trust them to do their job correctly without her supervision.
  • Sunshower most likely represents the reason why she goes by Outis. Any attention from the wrong person could be disastrous, and she wants none of it.

In conclusion It's very likely that the EG Os for a sinner reflect who they are personally wise or in their backstory. This is also semi-implied in the lore itself, which says that it's the Sinners' resonance with aspects of the Abnormality that results in E.G.O they can actually use in battle.

The Sinners' base E.G.Os should have backgrounds...

...but their incomplete manifestation of their E.G.O. instead has their E.G.Os occur in blank voids filled with only their assigned colors. When Yi Sang finishes off Dongrang with his fully manifested E.G.O, it occurs with a background of the room we see beyond the prison window in Yi Sang's base E.G.O. artwork. If a fully-manifested version of a Sinner's E.G.O. takes place in the room beyond their window, it would then make sense that the other major theme present across all the Sinners' E.G.Os, the shadow in each room, would be the reason for their incomplete manifestation. The shadow, as a Jungian concept, is the psychological parts of yourself you refuse to accept, and E.G.O. only fully manifests once you've accepted all parts of yourself, so the shadow in each piece of E.G.O. artwork prevents the full manifestation. In Yi Sang's case, his shadow was that of a wing, and once he accepted his own desire to fly even if it hurts, he then accepted his shadow, manifesting his E.G.O. fully, and the room beyond the window becomes the E.G.O's backdrop instead of his prior grey void.

Some of the Sinners have canonically met each other in their base Identities' pasts.

Situations where this could happen:

• Yi Sang and Meursault both formerly worked for N Corp.
• Ryoshu's Noodle Incident involved all five Fingers, Rodion got caught on the bad side of the Middle, and Heathcliff was implied to work for a lower-ranked Syndicate, there's still precedent owing to the person Rodion killed was someone who was hoarding money.
• Gregor and Outis were both involved in the Smoke War (to the point where Outis instantly recognized the environment of Gregor's flashbacks in Canto I).

Potential interactions like these might get explored further, depending on the Canto.

The point in their parallelling stories the Sinners are taken from:

• Yi Sang^note Do note that given that the Canto IV characters parallel a real-life group of authors the real-life Yi Sang was a member of: After the corresponding Group of Nine was pressured into complying with the Japanese, which is paralleled with the League of Nine's downfall because of T Corp.
• Faust: Unknown.
• Don Quixote: Unknown.
• Ryoshu: Unknown.
• Meursault: Unknown, but implied to take someplace after he was put on trial for his implied murder.
• Hong Lu: Unknown.
• Heathcliff: Implied to be taken from the time Heathcliff's book counterpart left the titular Wuthering Heights, given that he mentions his struggle in trying to make it big himself.
• Ishmael: Taken from the end of Moby-Dick given that she survived by hanging on to Queequeg's coffin, it's just that her Canto ends up being a parallel of the book in itself.
• Rodion: Unknown, but definitely after she performs her murder.
• Emil Sinclair: At the beginning in the book, when Kromer menaced his life.
• Outis: Unknown.
• Gregor: After the beginning when he transforms, but before his death in the story.

Hong Lu is a LOT more aware and cunning than he's letting on to be.

Hong Lu, throughout the story so far that we've seen of him, has displayed this sort of air-headed, rich guy personality which we all know him for. However there have been numerous times when he's shown that he's putting up a facade:

• He both does and mentions that he plays into his supposed stupidity in Intervallo 3.5.
• He mentions in his dialogue that he always thought of family as a means of backstabbing one another, despite in the past Cantos he's had nothing but good things to say about his family back home.
• He has a surprising non-reaction to the acid quite literally burning through him during the dungeon of Canto V.

Not to mention his identities, a lot of which see him as a leader or, at the very least, a highly ranking individual within his group. Hong Lu is a hell of a lot more competent than the Sinners and, to an extent, we think. we just haven't seen the full scope of how cunning he truly is just yet.

The Sinners are all deconstructions of common gacha game character types.

With how Project Moon seems to be very aware of the typical tropes happening in gacha games judging from the 2023 April Fools' and the way the summer event of that year was released (with the first stage even being called 'The Beach Episode'), this doesn't seem too farfetched.* Yi Sang: The dreamy Bishounen who takes an artistic path and the main character can romance. While being based on a real writer and spouting poetic, cryptic texts just about anytime, he's also much more than that alone, already hinted by the dark circles under his eyes.

• Faust: The Hot Teacher Miss Fanservice tutorial girl. In any other game this type of character would make advances on the main character by teasing them with their good looks and show little of actual teaching. While Faust's chest is certainly larger than average, she does not take advantage of her own looks and instead acts much more like an Insufferable Genius whose answers are so roundabout that one doesn't end up much wiser after her lectures.
• Don: The Chuunibyou who is little more than a nuisance and never causes real problems for others as they're a simple comedic relief. Being based on the Trope Codifier of the trope itself, Don does play with it as her Chuunibyou attitude does cause problems and it is shown that this aspect of her also makes her Too Dumb to Live at times including actual consequences to her actions. Furthermore, her little stint with the Mariachis not calling her dancing heartfelt does imply that there might be more going on beneath it.
• Ryoshu: The badass katana-wielding girl warrior (Sarashi often included). On first sight she fits the part...until it turns out that she seeks to create some kind of bizarre 'art' which is the reason why she seems to like slaughter and arson.
• Meursault: The Tall, Dark, and Handsome stoic character who ends up romancing the main character. On paper, Meursault fits the definition of a good-looking dark-haired man who is implied to have a professional background, but his stoicity doesn't come from the same romance-repulsion that the character type has as it's more of an Empty Shell basis than anything. This also makes him extremely passive which most other characters find to be a nuisance most of the time.
• Hong Lu: The Sheltered Aristocrat who nonetheless decided to join your cause. Instead of bragging about his wealth he appears to be rather new to several things (to the point that his color is actually called "Naive Cyan") and sometimes even delivers disturbing comments about his own situation back at home in contrast to many of these who would not speak ill of their oh-so-honored house.
• Heathcliff: The bad boy delinquent with a dark past who eventually opens up to the main character. While Heathcliff appears to behave the part, closer examination shows that he's smarter than he looks and while he does slowly start to respect Dante, his own ways still very much remain the same.
• Ishmael: The only sane girl-kind who prioritizes everything going in order more than anything. She appears to be this and initially also believes herself to be this, but Canto V and the buildup to it shows that her own anger is simply boiling underneath the surface instead of it being overtly visible like Heathcliff's own anger, and shows that she's as much prone to mental breakdowns as any other character is.
• Rodion: The hot Hard-Drinking Party Girl comedic relief character. Rodion certainly fancies the more hedonistic side of living life, but is not as much led by her own emotions than it would seem, simply being that confident underneath.
• Sinclair: The young boy who can't do anything for himself so he has to be protected by the main character. While inexperienced, Sinclair is far from helpless himself as he's able to nearly kill Guido on his own, with Guido only surviving because of his Healing Factor and Don stepping in in time. That part also shows that he's rather unstable on his own and prone to emotional outbursts should the buttons be pressed with enough force, making him much less of a 'cute little boy'.
• Outis: Perhaps the most blatant of the lot, she's a parody on the fangirl who idolizes the main character and praises their every step - while not even being weak herself. Outis openly showers Dante in all praise that she can think of, but it's also incredibly obvious to just about anyone else that this is rather facetious and not genuine at all. She could also be additionally a parody of the archetype named below.
• Gregor: The Old Soldier experienced veteran who is nonetheless very badass in battle and stoic, strategic. Gregor, while an Old Soldier indeed, is still haunted by his own past and is not as rigid as one would think, simply hiding it all behind easygoing behavior.

Character-Specific

Don Quixote's Cloudcuckoolander personality is a coping mechanism, and she will break down at some point in the story.

Given that the City is a massive Crapsack World, it wouldn't be too much of a surprise that her personality could potentially be a coping mechanism. Her current identity stories depict her in more grim scenarios that show her when pushed, she sports an traumatized look, both Shi Association 5 and W Corp.

Faust used to be part of Lobotomy Corporation.

So far, all of the Sinners with a chapter focused on them have had the scenes outside the window of their E.G.O. directly reference their past, such as the war outside Gregor's window, the frozen street littered with corpses outside Rodion's window, or the robot family eating dinner together outside Sinclair's window. Faust's window shows someone standing in front of the glowing ball of chains used in Identity Extractions. If you play Lobotomy Corporation and get to Day 50, then during the prep phase prior to the day itself, you can see a similar ball of chains surrounding a glowing light between the Record Team, Extraction Team, and Architecture Team. Considering how this imagery is directly linked to Faust and how she claims to have a library of knowledge unmatched by anyone in the City, much like how Angela's Library contains all knowledge in existence, it seems likely that Faust has some connection to L Corp, the Library, and the Light. In addition, one of her Identities is an L Corp Remnant, directly referencing Yuri, which strengthens her connection to L Corp.
In addition, you must remember how important literary connections are to the Sinners, as Rodion and Sinclair show through how much their backstories reference Crime and Punishment and Demian. In Goethe's version of Faust, Faust is the subject of a wager between Mephistopheles and God, to see if the devil can tempt the smartest man alive into damning his soul. Faust, who has become so depressed that he's contemplating suicide, then agrees to his own wager with Mephistopheles; Mephistopheles will serve Faust, and if he succeeds at making Faust feel a moment of happiness so sublime that he wishes that time would stop, then Mephistopheles can claim Faust's soul.
In the world of Project Moon, every piece of "divine" imagery has always been linked to Lob Corp; the Light, Ayin and Carmen, and of course One Sin and Hundreds of Good Deeds and WhiteNight. Given this, the obvious conclusion is that Faust was "tempted" by the Light and wound up stealing a piece of it during the ending of Lobotomy Corporation, and has used that piece of the Light to construct Mephistopheles and gain the knowledge of the Library.

• Evidence seems to support this, as Faust has two identities pertaining to L Corp.: Lobotomy Corporation Remnant, which sees her in the shoes of Yuri, and Regret E.G.O., which sees her as an agent within L Corp. during its prime^note However it's worth noting that Faust herself has stated that Walpurgis Night identities tend to stray further from reality than normal.

Faust is from the Outskirts.

An as-of-yet unexplained image posted on the official Limbus Company Twitter shows a young girl with white hair in a squalid housing area, and given how the only member of the main cast to have white hair is Faust, we can assume the girl to be her. In addition, Faust's base Identity comments in her Evening Greeting that she used to enjoy stargazing, but the stars aren't visible inside the City due to light pollution and smog. In addition, Faust seems to be following Project Moon's tradition of introducing a lore-important woman with white hair and very pale skin, and the other two characters to fill this role - Angela and Angelica - both come from the Outskirts.

Outis is a former member of pre-Lobotomy L Corp, the one destroyed in the Smoke War.

When looking at the starter E.G.Os for each Sinner, the scene outside of the window shows an important scene from their background - we know this now because, with context, we know that Gregor's is a scene from the Smoke War, Rodion's is the aftermath of her home's massacre, and Sinclair's is the scene of his family at the dinner table post-prosthetic surgery. Outis's scene is almost identical to Gregor's (implying that it's another scene from the Smoke War), but rather than being pitched battle is instead the aftermath of one - and judging by the placement of the bodies, probably from the point of view of the losers. The explanation that members of fallen Corps are treated with a particular kind of prejudice may be foreshadowing as to why Outis's background is completely blanked. It was probably a major demand Outis made when deciding to join Limbus.

Faust can see into Mirror Worlds on her own.

Faust's catchphrase-slash-incantation, "Faust knows all outcomes", seems like a way for her to retroactively say that she knew what was going to happen, but it could have a secondary meaning - as the person who built Mephistopheles, which has the ability to reach into Mirror Worlds as a major function, she's already intrinsically linked to Mirror Worlds. In addition, she has an extreme resemblance to Angelica and Argalia, as all three have Mystical White Hair and Icy Blue Eyes, and it's known that Angelica and Argalia were subjected to human experimentation by a currently-unknown Wing. Given this, it seems possible that Faust is a Singularity-enhanced human who has a weaker version of fellow test subject Iori, allowing her to look into Mirror Worlds but not jump between them.
If this turns out to be the case, it's likely that we'll see an Aberration of the Snow Queen in her chapter, as the story of the inspiring literary work, The Snow Queen, begins much like Goethe's version of Faust, with a scene between the devil and God, where the devil holds a mirror that shows all the worst aspects of anything it reflects up to God to see his worst aspects, and the mirror shatters from this, with shards getting wedged in the eye and heart of a young boy named Kai, making him only able to see the worst aspects of the world. With the prototype version of the Singularity being a mirror that Yi Sang built, it could be an additional possibility that Faust was exposed to the Mirror and that's why she can see into Mirror Worlds.

• An addendum to the Snow Queen is that the mirror shards getting wedged in Kai's eye and heart symbolize depression, and Faust is known to suffer chronic lassitude and the passive ability of Representation Emitter is called Ennui, implying that Faust herself suffers from depression.

Sinclair's ability to interpret Ryoshu's acronyms is because he's developing psychic powers.

A rather signature plot point from the original novel Demian is that, after Sinclair reunites with Demian after they were separated for years, he begins to obtain psychic powers that give him the ability to telepathically call on both Demian and Demian's mother, Frau Eva, with Sinclair eventually using them to call for help when he's wounded in a war. Since Sinclair's unusual ability to understand Ryoshu first pops up in Chapter 3.5, the psychic abilities appear at the same narrative time as they do in the book - right after Sinclair and Demian reunite after being separated for years. Given that Demian has also shown the ability to perfectly understand Dante and has references being able to understand other unusual forms of speech, it would make sense that Sinclair could begin to have a preternatural ability to understand Ryoshu's acronyms.

• Actually he for the first time interprets Ryoushu's acronym in the Canto 2, but in 3.5 Dante notices that they're "connected on spiritual level".
  • Both of their stories have them painting somewhat deranged things.

Demian was somehow created by Sinclair

Both in original book and Chapter 3 implied that Demian never existed in a first place, but currently Dante can see him (although he appeared in a "Sinclair's world") and Sonya knows him somehow. Sinclair seems to be kind of Unreliable Narrator (Just like Gregor)and we shouldn't forget about basement and it's connection toLobotomy Corporation.

CENSORED will show up in Outis's chapter one way or another.

If the smoke monster is believed to be the origin of CENSORED there is a possibility that CENSORED shows up in the chapter that focuses on Outis.

Meursault's highlight Cantos will not only reference The Stranger, but also The Meursault Investigation.

For context: The Meursault Investigation is a Perspective Flip story to The Stranger, exploring the events of the latter book through the eyes of the Arab victim's brother, whilst also giving a name to the originally-nameless victim. Since it essentially adds a new perspective to the narrative of The Stranger, it's possible that it'll be referenced in Limbus Company in some way - possibly by someone named "Harun" (the name of the Arab victim's brother) seeking Meursault for some sort of purpose tied to the past.

Meursault literally killed his mother in the past.

One thing to note about the Sinners' promo lines is how they're modifications of quotes from the actual source material they're inspired by. One of the most drastic of the lot is Meursault - going from "Mother died today. Or yesterday maybe, I don't know.", to "Today, I killed mother. Or maybe it was yesterday.". This might imply that the backstory of Meursault that will be revealed in his highlight Cantos might involve a composite abridgement of the original Meursault's murder of the unnamed Arab, and the funeral of his own mother, meaning Meursault killed his own mother.

In one of the Cantos or Intervallos, the Sinners will venture into N-Corp to retrieve the 'Lost Bough'.

Of all the sinners in the beginning, Gregor's is the least resolved. Not only did they not even gain the Bough, but Gregor re-living his trauma, losing Yuri, and everything that had happened all to that point was All for Nothing. However, I feel like if each sinner was specifically selected to resonate with one of the Boughs, then there probably wasn't any 'wiggle room' for losing a Bough overall. It could even be that there were only 12-13 in existence (depending on if Dante has to resonate with one or not), and each sinner was selected to resonate with one of them. If this is the case, I feel like, for whatever goals Limbus Company has for it, they're going to have to retrieve it back from Hermann. This also feels like it'd finally allow for Gregor to come to terms with things and confront the woman who tore apart his life, which would feel very narratively satisfying.

Faust became a Sinner simply to become an irremovable asset for Limbus Company

It's simple - For a Sinner, Faust somehow knows a lot more about Limbus Company compared to Dante, and Leviathan as well as Canto IV indicate that she's the one that recruited the members of Limbus Company B. Given that her promotional image is Mephistopheles and how she's already in Limbus Company by the time of Leviathan, it all implies that she's already working in Limbus Company as an important figure, and making a contract with Dante would accomodate the one sole remaining way Limbus Company could lose her - death.

Ryoshu cares about Sinclair since he reminds her of her child

The story Ryoshu references has a man lose his child at its climax, and given other hints as to Ryoshu's maternal nature, she likely had a child (whether biological or informally adopted) who she ended up losing. Sinclair is the youngest of the Sinners and is the Baby Of The Bunch, and along with him understanding her acronyms, she cares about him because he is seen like a child, which explains why Sinclair was the one person Ryoshu really wanted on her cooking team in Hell's Kitchen.

Don Quixote is NOT Don Quixote from the original novel.

If one looks at the original text of Don Quixote, there is no mention of the phrases "Sueño Imposible" (seen on her lance in her key art), "Por alcanzar la estrella inalcanzable" (her character intro subtitle), or "Sońar lo Imposible Sueńo" (seen on her lance in her base identity sprites). However, these phrases are all present in a musical inspired by Don Quixote, Man of La Mancha, in its most famous song, The Impossible Dream. Additionally, Don Quixote's base identity's coat reads "MIGUEL" instead of Don Quixote, and Man of La Mancha's Don Quixote is actually the author of the book, Miguel de Cervantes, putting on a play to amuse his fellow prisoners.

Another thing that to note, is that initially, "Rociante" is only visually mentioned in the form of Don Quixote's own shoes, and "Sancho" only shows up as part of the name of her base E.G.O. If the real deals showed up...would they even recognise this Don Quixote?

Faust had her mind break from observing the Mirror.

Prior to the fight against Nelly, Faust goes on an extended tangent/description of how looking into the Mirror can mentally shatter a person, causing everything to seem meaningless and destroy the foundation of their own existence, leading to them meddling with their Mirror selves while believing it to be the right thing to do. While it was immediately applicable thanks to Nelly's own status, her descriptor was unusually personal and held more emotional descriptors, as well as her trailing off at points, something very unusual for Faust's usual confident and straightforward expositions. Considering her own past and knowledge of the Mirror, it's quite likely that, at some point, she was exposed to a Mirror and suffered this same condition.

Nelly is now bound to Hermann.

Nelly mentioned that Butlers must serve their contracts to their full extent, even if they don't know what the original reason for doing so was, lest they be hunted down by Taboo Hunters. Her actions during Canto VI was ultimately against the well being of Wuthering Heights/Cathrine, whom she was contracted to serve. "But wait!" You say, "Heathcliff released her from her contract because he was the master of Wuthering Heights!" True, though he may not actually have been its master 'on paper'. Not only were the Oufi members that were preceding over the Reading of the Will imposters, thus leaving the affair with no real legal standing, but with the subject of said Will being Ret-Gone, Heathcliff can't claim mastery because there's no one to claim mastery from. As such, when Nelly brings the Golden Bough back to N-Corp she has to do whatever Hermann wants her to do, or else she'll be handed over to the Taboo Hunters for execution.

Ryoshu and her sword

The reason why Ryoushu never unsheathes her main katana isn't for the cool factor, but because it's cursed.

Ryoshu has or had a child, and something happened to her that involved the Fingers.

The main conflict of Hell Screen aside from the painting of the screen itself is Yoshihide trying to provide for his daughter, who has been taken to be a concubine for the Lord who has commissioned him, who is burned to death to give Yoshihide material to complete the screen. In the original story it was based on (Uji Shūi Monogatari), Ryoshu sees his house burn down, killing his wife and children, but finds inspiration in it instead. While both stories seem to have been taken for Ryoshu's character (i.e being named Ryoshu like in USM) the common thread is Ryoshu having a child that dies in flames and it giving him inspiration to create art.

• The presence of the Five Fingers in Ryoshu's promotional art and her Forest for the Flames EGO implies she had done something that got the attention of all five; assuming it had something to do with her Mad Artist habits, it's similar to how the Lord sought out Yoshihide to create the screen.
• The strange box Ryoshu sleeps in front of in her Forest for the Flames EGO resembles a coffin, with the many candles on top giving the idea of a vigil for a loved one. In addition, the hand outside is meant to represent all Five Fingers, once again illuding to the Lord's hand in the death of Yoshihide's child.
• What's also notable is that she carries the same sword in all her Identities, even if it's not the one she uses to fight with.
• The sword has a butterfly motif on it, fitting with her own butterfly/moth motif - Butterfly of Death and Rebirth, anyone?
• When Aeng-du assumes her to be a Kurokumo member due to her odachi Ryoshu gets notably riled up, reprimanding Aeng-du for comparing the Kurokumo's "scrap metal" to her blade, showing that Ryoshu holds her own odachi in high regard, possibly viewing as more than just a blade (always carrying it with her but never unsheathing it).
• Before the game launched, Project Moon held a Limbus theme in their cafe Ham Ham Pang Pang ^note  Which is a theme cafe with rotating themes that include unique merch and dishes with a special series of dishes that were themed to each Sinner and their country; for example, Ishmael (a character based on an American book) had hamburgers, and Sinclair (Swiss-German) had rösti. Ryoshu's dish ended up being oyakodon, which literally means 'parent-and-child-bowl' because it features both chicken and egg.

Relating to the above, the sword in Ryoshu's Forest for the Flames E.G.O. is a symbol for her child

This was brought upon not only by the altar/coffin as well as Ryoshu's black kimono (a common article of clothing for Japanese wakes.) Compare Ryoshu's usual expressions in the different art she's featured in with her posture and expression in her base E.G.O.: in the former, she often sports a Slasher Smile or an aloof/casual expression, but in Forest for the Flames art she has a far gentler expression, and hugs the sword much like one would hug a child.It should also be pointed out that Yoshihide in the original Hell Screen spoiled his daughter rotten, so there's precedence in Ryoshu being a loving mother (even if she had loose priorities like Yoshihide did.)

Ryoshu will draw her sword against the final boss of her chapter.

It's likely that the sword is connected to her daughter and she keeps it sheathed in shame, not wanting to tarnish the art she made. Eventually she'll realize that by not letting that art show, that's exactly what she's doing. When she uses her E.G.O to finish off the boss (Most likely Horikawa), she draws the blade to finish them off. Which leads to the next theory...

Ryoshu was a Ring member.

What's surprising is how long it took for this theory to come about. She's a looney artist who has a hand of Finger iconography in her background. What happened was that when she made her version of the Hell Screen for Horikawa, it was during a Finger Bow Bell. She lost her daughter, went nuts, took off, and is with Limbus Company to get her back.

• In Canto VI, Ryoshu comments on the Ring's art not being her taste. It could be that she has already found out it is not to her taste after leaving it.

The 2nd anniversary will revolve around Ryoshu

In the first anniversary, we have the Blade Lineage at the main focus, with their Salsu Aeng-du as a secondary main character. And it's kinda obvious that Yi Sang's BL identity (the one we got from pre-registration) should relate to her, since he has the most similarities to Aeng-du.

If above theory about the order of who's in which Canto is true, then by the time of the 2nd anniversary, we should be finished with Hong Lu's Canto and heading straight to Ryoshu's. And coincidentally, Ryoshu had the second (unreached) reward on the pre-registration with the 4th Match Flame. So, the second anniversary intervallo will probably focus on her, probably softening her up a bit (or more, given her literature origin and the chance that Scorched Girl might appear) before whatever happens in her actual Canto.

Ryoshu's sword was made from her child.

The plot of Hell Screen is that Yoshihide is commissioned to make a piece of art which ends up being fuelled by human suffering, with the daughter who he took this commission for being burnt to death by the commissioner in order for him to complete the final part of the project. Relating to the theories above, Ryoshu had a child who died and is somehow connected to her sword and Ryoshu had some history with the Fingers. She took a commission to make a sword, and her child was killed in a way to complete it, whether it was something like ashes being used to make the sword or something involving city technology. After it was made, instead of giving it to whatever Finger which commissioned it, she keeps it with her as it was made from her child.

Ryoshu was Brought Down to Badass when entering Limbus, because...

A throwaway line of Dante's train of thought in Canto II has them remark that Ryoshu used to be stronger before she became a Sinner. A couple of guesses could be made...

• She could've been in a position of power, maybe one that made all five Fingers want her or her loyalty. Yoshihide was considered the greatest painter of the land to the point that he was commissioned by the lord of Horikawa.
• If she had a daughter who died, she could've gone on a Mama Bear Roaring Rampage of Revenge, similar to Roland maybe, after which all five Fingers turned on her and forced her out and joining Limbus would've been her only choice.

Worldbuilding

The Silent Girl is related to N Corp and Meursault somehow.

The Silent Girl carries a nail and a hammer with her, and back in Ruina, one of her cards involved sticking 'nails' into enemies, much like the Nagel und Hammer inquisitor enemies do to increase their damage. Her E.G.O attack was pinning the enemy to the ground and hammering nails into them, which is identical to the first part of the modus operandi of Nagel und Hammer. The fight against 'her' (in reality Carmen wearing her E.G.O) happened in a church-like environment, with stained glass and all, possibly mirroring how the Nagel und Hammer members are all a Knight Templar who worship Kromer as a saint (not to mention how their dungeon also took on a church crypt with locations as the altar, the sacristy, etc.). Both Kromer and Faust's Identity as her have an ability called 'Gaze', synonymous to 'Leer'. Finally, Meursault's base E.G.O art has him surrounded by drawn eyes that are basically identical to those of the Silent Girl's effects.

The Golden Boughs are pieces of Carmen's nervous system

At the center of Lobotomy Corp HQ and the first source of Cogito was that of Carmen's extracted nervous system. The games have made metaphors of the "tree" that Carmen's unfurled nervous system looks like, and the idea that Ayin would "prune" "trimmings" of it to maintain the deal on which L Corp was founded, providing cheap and near-infinite energy to the backers of the Smoke War (and the rest of the City) by creating sub-labs to maintain day-to-day operations while the HQ handles his "script", is absolutely not out of the question for him. The bough's habit of resonating and digging up traumatic memories is one thing, but helping Kromer actively Distort is so far up Carmen's alley that it begs the question of just how involved she is, not if. Faust also describes the boughs as being "neoplastic plantlike growths holding the essence of L Corp's technology," in Canto I, which means that they are not plants but abnormal tissue growths resembling plants, further strengthening this theory.

Limbus Company is trying to take over the remains of L Corp.

According to Dante's Notes, Once Lobotomy Corporation had fallen and the Library was forcibly ejected by the Head after the events of Library of Ruina, they note that it is still vacant and in chaos, essentially a no man's land zone. Limbus Company may be trying to seize it's place into becoming an official Wing, as we know that Wings will inevitably rise up again.

Limbus Company offered Sinners a restoration of their deceased beloved ones/friends

In the Canto 4 Part 2 was mentioned that they're received the same impossible offer, so after Dante finally engrave their aspect, it would be possible to restore anyone.

Samjo didn't die, but...

He turned into a single-celled organism, the closest thing to an 'original form' for humanity (and indeed all living beings). Which might actually be even more horrifying.

The Golden Boughs can generate their own Cogito

Each Finger has their own Sin they revolve around when we get Identities for them

Each Finger's activities represent an overblown embodiment of a sin. The Middle is a jealous Finger that will launch massively horrific counteroffensives over the slightest thing, and the two Identities shown thus far have an emphasis on Envy.

• The Thumb demands respect over everything else, and as such are Prideful, with their brass and rank and file reacting violently to any slights to their honor.
• The Index follow the Prescripts and do their bidding, Slothfully letting those pieces of paper determine their lives.
• The Ring Lusts over art, taking pleasure in their creations and going so far as to be part of them even if it means killing themselves and others for it.
  • Canto VI highly implies this is confirmed, as all the disguised Ring members that are fought have Lust skills, much like how all the fightable Little Brothers of the Middle have Envy skills.
• The Middle is known for acting swiftly when something is done to them, thus acting out of Envy ^note  In Limbus, Envy is the Sin connected to doing something because something is done to you first

N Corp is a direct enemy of Limbus Company as a whole.

Both N Corp and Limbus Company have their own teams tasked specifically with fetching the Golden Boughs. The two Sinners formerly associated with N Corp happen to have their descriptions omit referencing the Wing (Yi Sang's mention is simply redacted, whilst Meursault's mention is omitted entirely due to description only providing a sentence about his behaviours). Then we get to Canto IV, where Hermann wants to destroy the Mirror Worlds, which are the same worlds the Sinners have been using for their Identities and possibly getting their other stuff (like Luxcavation, Mirror Dungeons, and Refraction Railway) from, and this very motivation is what drives Yi Sang to defect from N Corp.

The Pinky will be basically the Yakuza

The Thumb is already the Italian Mafia, and from what was known in Library of Ruina, the Middle was thought to be the Russian Mafia. And given how the Pinky in Ryoshu's one picture is bandaged with a blade/glass shard in it, it might as well reference the punishment the Yakuza is more or less known for; namely cutting off the top of one's pinky.

Different EGOs are based off of different parts of the same Abnormality, and thus different themes.

When more than one character gets EGO from the same Abnormality, there are differences in attack type, Corrosion animations, effects, and background art. For the ones that have already been fought, these differences can be attributed to the EGO representing a different part of the same Abno.

• Effervescent Corrosion (Ambling Pearl)
  • Hong Lu: Some of Hong Lu's EGOs, IDs and voicelines allude to the people around him treating him as a treasure or a jewel rather than a human being. In his corrosion animation, the pearl sprouts hair and arms, making him the precious gem the clam wants to protect.
  • Rodion: Ambling Pearl's Mirror Dungeon event mentions how the muck around it is actually tiny larvae that continuously fight each other for survival, but the clam protects them with its shell regardless. The muck is also described as being difficult to wade through (reflected in the Pearl inflicting Bind in its fight and EGO), so these two together represent both Rodion's desire to protect the people around her (the clam shell) and the doubt she has about her murder of the tax collector (the muck).
• Lantern (Faelantern)
  • Gregor: His outfit and corrosion animation resemble the hidden woody body of Faelantern more, which lines up with both Legerdemain's theme of false appearances (the pristine exterior deceives you and hides a rotten interior), and his own self-loathing towards taking advantage of others and being useless.
  • Sinclair: His outfit resembles the fairy lure of Faelantern, likely comparing his actions that doomed his town to the fairy luring people to their doom.

Potential future characters

Potential members of the Big Bad Ensemble.

So far in the story, we've seen a few members of what seems to be the setup to Limbus Company's Big Bad Ensemble, with each character having a connection to one of the Sinners while also being a Shout-Out to their literary origin. Currently, we've met Hermann, who is connected to Gregor, Gubo, who is connected to Yi Sang, Jia Huan, who is connected to Hong Lu, Sonya, who is connected to Rodion, and Kromer, who is connected to Sinclair.Potential characters for the rest of the Sinners:

• Faust
  • Gretchen
• Don Quixote
  • Miguel de Cervantes
• Ryoshu
  • The Lord of Horikawa
• Meursault
  • Raymond
• Heathcliff
  • Cathy
  • Edgar Linton
    • Linton to a certain degree, as he allows an alternate version of Heathcliff to take his body. Otherwise,it's neither of them.
• Ishmael
  • Captain Ahab
    • Confirmed!
• Outis
  • Calypso
  • Achilles
  • Polyphemus
  • Agamemnon
  • Poseidon

The Narrator that narrates the identity stories of the sinners is Carmen.

In Faust's Lobotomy Corp. Remnant's story, the narrator refers that Faust had once worked for the company where their "children" resided. All of the other identity stories uses the same tone and wording as well, indicating it may be the same person.

The Blue Reverbaration is Back.

Not Argalia of course, but the group lives on in the form of Demian. Though most of the group, Argalia included, died at the hand of librarians, Carmen's influence absolutely was not stopped in any way, and her whispers still feel the mind of those whose pasts are tragic, making them easier prey. Alarmingly, in the game its noted that the distortion phenomenon is increasing. Enter Demian, whose demeanor is not without resemblence to Argalia's.

Here is a quick recap of those traits:

• Obvious but crucial, the presence of the blue colour in his name and background:
  • As comparison, Lion, Panther, Wolf, all sport the colour purple in their name backgrounds and a piece of said colour on their armor, showing their allegiance to the Purple Tear (the "she" they speak of as their superior and the way Vergilius interacts with them is a dead giveaway from their past in Leviathan).
• Leads a group of distortion/nutcases:
  • If the trailer is anything to by ,the silhouettes in the blue background with Demian are far from human looking.....just like the old group lead by Argalia. Bonus points if he ends up being the only human looking of the group.
• Speaks of a change that will remake the world anew:
  • His entire speech of a new world birthing is not unlike Argalia's vision for the City, though this new world might simply a distorted nightmare...., of course the mentions of stars don't help at all.
• Has the ability to understand Dante.
  • Again, not unlike Argalia himself, who could understand Bremen, it's stated by Demian himself that he can understand a lot of 'chirps and trills.'

The Purple Tear will be one of the main antagonists.

As we know, the ending of Library of Ruina left us with the potential of seeing a brand new Association, one capable of dealing with distortions/abnormalities.Lion, Panther, Wolf are the end result of the Purple Tear personally gathering and training those capable of using E.G.O weapon, and judging by their skill (mostly crushing the sinners without difficulty) they will be the enemy for the future.

But why would Iori (Aka the Purple Tear) be our enemy? Well, there's the fact that she literally played the entire story of Library of Ruina like a chess game, leading to the spread of the Distortion phenomenon (hi Argalia, hi the Library light) ensuring that this would allow her to take the lead over the marketization of E.G.O weapon and the people capable of wielding them.

Of course, a major motif of hers is the snake, which is commonly seen as traitorous and poisonous. And, as noted by the Hana Association, she and her manipulation and capacity to play everyone around her goes very very deep, to the point that she might be ahead of everyone in the entire setting (perhaps except for the Head itself).

Finally, her students, and by extension, herself, are responsible for Dante's amnesia and stopping them from completing their work. The fact that Vergilius didn't hesitate at all to chop off Wolf and Lion's arms is another indicator of this (she is, after all, responsible, though indirectly, for the destruction of a certain orphanage that Vergilius cared about in Leviathan, thus antagonizing him.)

What would be her main goal be then? Well, we know for a fact that she lost her son years ago, and with the ability to literally see other dimensions, it wouldn't too far-fetched to imagine that Iori is working on a way to bring him back to life (how though is still up for debate, as she has shown literally no interest in the hunt of the golden bough so far, but with Dante leading the sinners this might change.)

Yuri isn't quite gone yet.

The unclear nature of False Apple's absorption ability, combined with the fact the Golden Bough was still attached to her head when N Corp stole it, may be hinting that they might bring her back in the future, possibly as a robot not unlike L Corp's Sephirah. And considering who took said Golden Bough, its entirely possible she could be brought back in a And I Must Scream state purely to demoralize the Sinners, especially Gregor.

In a similar fashion as to the above, we might see Hopkins again.

In a future chapter, it wouldn't be surprising if he happened to join Hermann's crew and grow stronger with the Enkephalin he stole.

Demian is the reincarnation of Enoch.

They both are very similar in appearance, and the way Demian speaks is reminiscent of Enoch's philosophical way of speaking whenever shown in Lobotomy Corporation. Given that all of the Patron Librarians (save for Roland) all had their third lives resurrected in a way, Demian would mark to be Enoch's third life as well.

There will be more Sinners appearing then the current 13

After all, the world of books is gigantic enough to include more characters out of them. They won't be in the playable roster, but they could be similar to options for possible Sinners, who ultimately weren't chosen.

Potential future games

The next game will be a prequel where you manage the old L corp.

While Limbus company was teased it mentioned another game also in development called LC2 little is known about it aside from it being an city manager, and an energy company would be building infrastructure to transfer power to the city, the game will likely end with the smoke war destroying the facility.

• Alternatively, if Limbus Company become the new L Corp, it could focus on them rebuilding the remains of Nest L.
